FOUNTAINS ABBEY

Today, we visited Fountains Abbey, a National Trust property on the outskirts of Ripon in North Yorkshire. At the moment, what with one thing and another, entrance is by advance online ticket only. Tickets are for a certain time; on this occasion, we bought them for a 3pm – 3:30pm entrance time. We came here a week ago, in search...

OUR FIRST CL and THE BANNISDALE HORSESHOE

RIBBLEHEAD AND PEN-Y-GHENT

Yesterday afternoon, we headed out to Ribblehead, for an overnight stop in preparation for climbing Pen-y-Ghent today. I think its fair to say that Ribblehead is one of the most popular visitor destinations in the Yorkshire Dales, for walkers, motorhomers, and train spotters alike. There are lots of good ‘wild camping spots’ in this area, and the Station Inn, situated...
